Bushhogging corn

Posted by VADAVE on September 19, 2011 at 08:13:37 from (149.32.192.33):

Finished the 20 acre of corn I had out Thursday. Looks like the company I had spray it was afraid to get within 60 feet of the field edge and the weeds were so bad just kept plugging the combine. So I bushogged that 60 feet--about 5 acre. The 1655 would pull down with the 7 foot bushhog then when I stopped to clean the trash off before putting it away tractor wouldn't restart. Had to shut it off because the clutch is a little tight and the PTO keeps turning.
Any hoo being diesel I tried the simple stuff first. 1) check that air isn't plugged then that the fuel is getting to the pump. Still didn't restart--yeah dumb me didn't pull the air filter to be sure the air was getting in. That's next. And loosen the fuel line AT the pump instead of out of the filter. If it's more serious then that I'll call for help.
Suspect I was just being too on the surface and that air filter needs changed.
Any way the crop was pretty good for our area. Looks like 180 bu/ac for the harvested acres. And that is as good as I ever done. Course I'll have as gentle conversation as I can with the spray company. Missing the whole outside round is just not acceptable.
The weeds were so high they were jamming up the combine intake screen.
